Moto Guzzi V7 Classic

Moto Guzzi V7 Love or? – I used to own a Moto Guzzi V7, I just fell in love with that Guzzi motor and that huge fuel tank 21 litres, and that look pure Retro. I loved the quirks that made the bike an individual in a sea of motorcycles that's just rode from A-B. Hop on turn the key and the little bugger fires up pulling to one side, the old BMW Boxers use to do this. Short bars made her quick to turn, brakes even though Brembo's, really could do with a second disc up front. Rear disc again a Brembo, that great Guzzi shaft drive. Just a little fact Guzzi invented shaft drive on motorcycles and the centre-stands, some other patented them first. The seats a piece of art and could be more comfortable, gel seat available. I loved my V7, but on long hauls especially sitting on 110km, forget it. This bikes real appeal is city riding and the occasional blat out on country roads, retro is cool its appealing its a fashion statement, and most of all its a must have so we can identify to others who we are, if you don't believe me look no further than Harley Davidson.

A Great Machine – Have owned one for 3 years and over 50,000 kms. A great bike that is fun to ride. If you want something to burn up the bitumen buy something bigger. If you want something that puts a smile on your face every time you ride it, this is the bike. If I was still a motorcycle courier this bike would rate highly in being ideal for the job. Easy to self maintain, service spares at a good price and readily available, easy and fun to ride. Get plenty of positive compliments from all types of people.

A fantastic machine – Very easy to ride, smooth power delivery from 1000 RPM, stunning looks, easy maintenance,cool retro style, mirrors work well, comfortable. Corners superbly, great balance, deep throbbing exhaust tone. Classic looks, not too common
